Why Some Mental Health Diagnoses Become Identities and Some Become Prisons.
Descripción del Episodio
What if the diagnosis isn’t the whole story?
In this live episode of Notes From the Edge, we’ll explore one of the most important conversations happening in psychology today.
Why has ADHD become increasingly accepted in boardrooms, businesses, and everyday conversations while diagnoses like Bipolar Disorder, Borderline Personality Disorder, and Complex PTSD continue to carry so much stigma?
Together we’ll explore:
The surprising overlap in symptoms and neuroscience
Why trauma can sometimes resemble ADHD—and why ADHD can increase vulnerability to trauma
The science of emotional regulation, executive functioning, and nervous system adaptation
How diagnoses can provide understanding without becoming our identity
Why some labels invite compassion while others still trigger judgment
What healing looks like when we move beyond labels and begin asking a different question:
“What happened to me… and what did I become in order to survive?”
This isn’t about dismissing diagnoses.
It’s about understanding the human being behind them.
Whether you’re a clinician, executive, entrepreneur, therapist, coach, someone living with a diagnosis, or simply curious about the intersection of psychology, trauma, neuroscience, and identity, this conversation is for you.
